I. IntroductionEver since computers first developed, they have performed numerous tasks that have made life a little easier and more comfortable for us. The first computers were room-sized monstrosities that occupied several rooms. These first computers were made by the military for military applications, in particular for calculating ballistic and trajectory data. But in less than 50 years computers have undergone a remarkable change not only in its capabilities but also in its applications and use. Nowadays, the computer is viewed as a household appliance, serving a number of functions, from word processing to communicating through the internet. A great leap indeed. And through its development the computer finally made its way into the world of geology. Here, the computer's ability to perform tasks and calculations quickly has helped the geologists tremendously. Because of its speed it is able to perform the numerous calculations that geologists in the past were forced to do by hand. As data manipulation became simplified it gave geologists more ease in analysis of their data. Until now, geoscientists have had to be content to view a 3-D data in the 2-D environment of a ccomputer screen, which prohibits natural interaction with the data. At the visualization facilities coming into gue today, however, supercomputers centers that are sprouting over the industry landscape, following relatively longtime usage in the automotive and space industries ( Durham, 1999). As technology continues to evolve, the use of the computer to a geologist also continue to change. With the advancements in computer technology, computers are now capable of generating 3-D Models. But what is 3-D? 3-D, which is also called STEREOSCOPIC, is based on the fact that humans perceive depth by viewing with both eyes. In the 3-D process, two lenses, one representing the left eye and the other the right are spaced about 2 1/2 inches (6.3 cm) apart, the same as the separation between a person's eyes. The resulting images are simultaneously projected. The viewer actually sees the images separately but perceives them in three dimensions because, for all practical purposes, the two slightly different images are fused together instantly by his mind. But a 3D model is different in that the image generated is already a solid 3D model. Meaning, that it is not necessary to trick the mind into seeing something in 3D, because the image generated is already 3-dimensional (Encyclopedia Britannica 1999). So, basically a 3-D image is picture that appears solid because our mind is tricked into perceiving it as 3-dimensional. While, a 3-D Solid Model is an actual representation of an object in 3-dimensions. Three-dimensional modeling and reservoir visualization tools are increasingly used to add value to heavy oil prospects (Major, 1999). Now we shall discuss several basic definitions in computer applications. This is so that some basic computer definitions can be clarified and their nature better understood. The three basic aspects of computers that are going to be discussed will namely be: computer graphics, computer simulation, and virtual reality. The primary reason that these aspects will be discussed is because these three elements are what constitute, a 3D Solid Geology Model. Although, it is to be noted that virtual reality, is an aspect of this new technology that could be said is an option. The first two elements mentioned are in by themselves capable of generating a 3D Solid Model. Virtual reality is an element that if included gives a user the ability for greater scrutiny and analysis of a model. This is because it allows a person to "immerse" himself in the system that is being analyzed. But, unless a system requires such a detailed analysis then a solid 3D model should suffice.

...A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem.
Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU), and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit can change the order of operations in response to stored informPrograms
The defining feature of modern computers which distinguishes them from all other machines is that they can be programmed. That is to say that some type of instructions (the program) can be given to the computer, and it will process them. Modern computers based on the von Neumann architecture often have machine code in the form of an imperative programming language.
In practical terms, a computer program may be just a few instructions or extend to many millions of instructions, as do the programs for word processors and web browsers for example. A typical modern computer can execute billions of instructions per second (gigaflops) and rarely makes a mistake over many years of operation. Large computer programs consisting of several million instructions may take teams of programmers years to write,...

...A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations. There are many types of computers that we are using now like personal computers (desktop), mobile computers and mobile devices, game consoles, servers, mainframes, supercomputers, and embedded computers [1]. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem[2]. Every day, people around the world rely on different kinds of computers for a variety of areas. Computers can be used for educational purpose, in the bank, for entertainment, in railway stations and airports, in office, in hospital, in defence, for designing, and another category. However, computers contain both advantages and disadvatages.
Almost every home, office, or school has a computer of some kind these days. The use of computer technology in learning allows the teacher to individualized the learning instructions as well as the technology grants the students the autonomy and making them to learn with their own [3]. In addition to this storing information on a computer disks is one of the most officient ways of keeping data. One computer disk can hold the same amount of information as several books[4]. Then, a computer with a...

...Advantages of Using ComputersComputers obviously wouldn’t be as popular as they are
now if they did not offer advantages over doing tasks
manually. Some of these advantages are:
Computers can perform calculations much more
quickly and accurately than humans. For example,
modern computers can perform hundreds of millions
of calculations per second.
Large amounts of data can be stored in a small
amount of space. For example, hundreds of pages
worth of text can be stored on a 31⁄2inch floppy disk.
Computers can work continuously and perform
repetitive tasks well. Unlike their human counterparts,
computers do not get bored or tired.

...Introduction
Agriculture is a vital sector of Pakistan's economy and accounted for almost 30 percent of GDP annually, according to government estimates. The sector directly supports three-quarters of the country's population, employs half the labor force, and contributes a large share of foreign exchange earnings. The main agricultural products are cotton, wheat, rice, sugarcane, fruits, and vegetables, in addition to milk, beef, mutton, and eggs. Pakistan depends on one of the world's largest irrigation systems to support production.
The following are the main crops cultivated in Pakistan:
Wheat:-
Wheat is a staple food used in manufacture of baked products.
It is grown on Barani lands. Wheat is grown in Punjab, Sindh and some parts of K.P.K for cultivation of wheat. The temperature is favorable from October to May for the production of wheat. It does not need a lot of water. Pakistan is not self sufficient in wheat production and has to import wheat from foreign countries. It accounts for over 70% of gross cereals and over 36% of the country’s acreage is devoted to wheat cultivation.
Rice:-
Rice is a Kharif crop and needs a great deal of water and heat. It is known as “crop of water”. It is grown in Punjab and Sindh. North-eastern Punjab and Larkana district are main rice growing regions. The Irri, Basmati and desi varieties are grown in Pakistan. Basmati is the most famous variety of rice grown in Pakistan. Its highest acreage is in the north eastern...

...Advantages of Computers
Disabled: Computers have changed many disabled people's lives, especially those who are unable to leave their house because of boundaries such as wheelchairs. For people who are confined to wheelchairs, computers give them a chance to experience many things that would not be possible for them otherwise. They can go to a particular museum web site and learn about a Van Gogh painting, or they can go to a science web site and learn about NASA and the space shuttle. These things would not be possible without computers because of their physical disability.
Elderly: The elderly also are now able to enjoy different things on the computer. They can research medication they consume, visit a web site about travelingor communicate with their family members. Since the elderly many times do not have adequate transportation because either they no longer drive, or are no longer permitted to drive, computers allows them to do just abou anything from shoppin, to traveling, to learninig, to e-mailing there long lost friends from years prior. It gives them a new freedom.
Low Income Families: Hopefully, many more computers will become available to the underprivileged children from low-income families. Possible one day there will be a sliding scale fee for the people in poverty (or near poverty) to be able to afford purchasing a...
